Sean Crawley (Sean McKenna) is a young, without art or part, pulling a living sew for a company that takes care homes to renovate. His life changed when, during one of these restructurings, knows Duke (George Wendt, Norm Peterson on the series "Cheers") who introduces him to his boss, the ambiguous businessman Ray Matthews (Daniel Baldwin). Sean Ray hires to spy on the movements of Eric Gatley (Ron Livingston) an accountant who has just discovered something sinister, in the affairs of the company Ray. For days, the life of Sean spy accountant and his family, uncovering morbidly attracted to him by his wife (the lovely Kari Wuhrer). One night, Ray, drunk, Sean gives $ 13,000 to eliminate Eric. Sean thinking that Eric Ray really wants to die (in fact, Ray has been in the fumes of alcohol), accepts the offer and kills the accountant. Realizing the tragic mistake, he tries to bring Duke, but it is quickly downloaded by those who had commissioned the work. When Sean decides to blackmail Ray, for his reward, the only answer is kidnapped and taken to an old abandoned mansion. There will be tortured per day by men who work for Ray, until ...

Stuart Gordon ("Re-Animator," "From Beyond", "Dagon") leaves, for once, the atmosphere Lovecraftian horror, directing this thriller-noir really very special. The film, dry and direct, is a bitter reflection on the nature of the human being greedy and brutal, dirty and a portrait of the violent greed of man. The same style of Gordon (here truly unrecognizable compared to their traditional work) seems to adapt perfectly to the story, evolving into a form far more direct, aggressive and dirty.
Best, for example, the sequence of the crime (a murder of the most realistic ever seen in a film) and the appalling scenes of torture with a golf club, and the disturbing images that represent the remorse and anguish of the protagonist . McKenna, formerly of the soap opera actor, offers, in this sense, a convincing proof.

Unfortunately, the weak point of the film is represented by a little wobbly to say the script, where certain situations are resolved in a far too hasty (one in all, the intervention of his friend nerd with the van!). From this point of view, even the bombastic finalone (although cathartic) quite out of place compared to what had been the style of the film up to that point.

In conclusion, a film that deserves to be seen, with enough interesting narrative solutions (and other frankly embarrassing), which had all the credentials to become the cult-classic movie.
